AWARDSFINALIST-Fiction: Thriller Adventure, Best Books Awards, 2023When does the student become the master? At what cost? Grieving the loss of his sensei, the master swordsman Yamashita, Connor Burke struggles with the challenges of recovery from the wounds received struggling to defend Yamashita as well as the heavy burden of assuming leadership of Yamashita's dojo. Embroiled in controversy with a wealthy donor over control of the dojo, Burke welcomes the distraction of an investigation into a noted yoga guru's unexplained death. Winston Tambor is a charismatic yoga teacher who died under mysterious circumstances. Some believe that Win's death was caused by the unleashing of mysterious yogic power from the discipline of Kundalini, but some investigators think differently. They need someone with an insider's knowledge of the esoteric aspects of Asian disciplines, with the research skills needed to separate mystic hype from reality, who also has had some experience with criminal investigations. Mickey Burke, watching his brother Connor struggle with rehabilitation in the aftermath of Yamashita's death, thinks Connor will be perfect for the project. Connor Burke welcomes the distraction of Montoya's investigation of Tambor's death. He soon discovers that solving this mystery is as dangerous as it is difficult.  Burke is plunged once again into the world of esoteric Asian disciplines. Where the relations between master and disciple, and the conflict of perpetuating ancient codes of honor can generate very lethal consequences. Especially when driven by money and celebrity.
